Aberfeldy Parish Church, Crieff Road, Aberfeldy

Aberfeldy Parish Church, located on Crieff Road in Aberfeldy, was built in 1884 by John and G P K Young of Perth. It is a plain Gothic church comprising a three-bay aisless nave, transepts, and a slated fleche. The exterior is constructed of squared and snecked chlorite-slate rubble with polished ashlar dressings, with harl applied to the west side. It features a raised base course, single- and two-stage sawtooth-coped buttresses, hoodmoulds (some with label stops), geometrical- and plate-traceried windows, stone mullions, and boarded timber doors with decorative ironwork.

The east elevation, facing Crieff Road, has a broad gable with angle buttresses and a slightly advanced central section. The first stage features three trefoil-headed lights under a continuous hoodmould, above which sits a large four-light Geometric window, also with a hoodmould, and a gablehead finial with a glazed quatrefoil.

The north elevation (entrance front) includes a tall, two-stage gabled porch projecting to the left of centre. The porch returns to the left with steps leading to a doorway with a hoodmould, floreate label stops, and a deep-set two-leaf door. A bipartite window is located at the second stage of the porch. Two plate-traceried two-light windows are positioned centrally and an advanced gable to the right incorporates large tripartite windows, and a mandorla in the gablehead, with a further single lancet window to the outer right.

The west elevation presents a broad, harled gable with a rose window. A single-stage rubble chancel adjoins, featuring a single light to the face of a polygonal-roofed bay, a smaller lancet to a lean-to bay on the left, a two-leaf door on the return, and a similar mirrored bay to the right, with an additional tall shouldered stack (window boarded).

The south elevation mirrors the north elevation, but includes a ramp leading to a single-stage porch with a broad single-leaf door, a circular panel in the gablehead, and a narrow light on the return. A small additional structure is also present in the re-entrant angle to the outer left.

The windows feature multi-pane leaded glazing with coloured margins and details. The roof is covered in grey slates, with coped ashlar stacks, ashlar-coped skewes with mitre skewputts, diminutive triangular roof ventilators with trefoil-detail bargeboarding, cast-iron downpipes, decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.

The interior has been altered, with a former gallery now infilled, but retaining cast-iron columns and a panelled front. The roof is open timbered, and there are some fixed timber pews, a carved pulpit, and boarded dadoes.

Boundary walls, constructed of saddleback-coped stepped squared rubble and semicircular-coped rubble, enclose the site.
